on the last few loads alone. He hauled out 20 loads to-day Dad. and I didn't get the wire stretched very well but as long as it doesn't go right flat I think it will turn the sheep. It has been quite hot to-day. Dad. feels punk. Saturday August 16th Frank and I hauled manure all day but only got out about 17 loads. Niel Eliot was in for awhile this morning and Frank went back with him to show him Kate but he said she wasn't in shape yet to buy. This after noon we were driven in but quite a heavy thunder shower and it kept on raining pretty much till dark. Dad. has felt very miserable and weak to-day and has not been out of the house all day. Frank went down town to-night. Sunday August 17th We were greatly surprised this morning to find George in bed with Dick. He came up last night and came over with Frank after I was asleep. Ed. Turner has got him a good job as draughtsman on the Welland Canal. Dad. drove Tid and me down to Sunday school and the boys all came down to church. Dick and I stayed at Aunty's for dinner and I went with band and played sacred music in Powell park this after noon. George & Frank were down this after noon but came to tea and for the eveing I went down to see Quint for a few minutes and he gave me some ice cream to bring home. Pretty warm to-day, breeze. Monday August 18th Frank and I hauled manure to-day but only got out 13 loads as the rain this morning delayed us so that we only hauled 4 loads out before dinner. It rained again this after noon but not till we were just about to quit. I went down to band practice to-night so we quit at five. Dad. felt better to-day and he and Tid. went down to cut Aunty Alice's oats but they didn't get them cut on account of the rain. Quint took them out for a ride in his motor boat and they got home just in time for Dad. to help me milk. Some garden thief has been very active this last week, about 100 hills of potatoes were dug out of Ed. Moon's garden up on Main St and a lot of beets and carrots were taken from Mrs. Battersby's and Uncle Ward's gardens on Saturday night. Frank drove George down this morning and he got off on the 6.30 G.T.R.
